My hd600 came. It complements it on weight
The Focal Clear seems like a weird complement for the LCD-X. It might complement other Audeze headphones that are sort of muddy sounding but I see it as more of an upgrade if you like its sound or as a sidegrade. Soundstage is similar. I actually wonder which might have the edge.
NoThe big test will be on the way soon- the HD800S (and I spent $1800+ on it too...). Unfortunately I also shot myself in the foot getting the Questyle CMA400i and initiating a return for my Modi Multibit. After a couple of hours of listening I'm not impressed and find the MM + Jotunheim a better combo. Using the LCD-X single-ended. I really need the energy of the MM + Jot to properly evaluate the HD800S. I'm planning to upgrade to a Bifrost Multibit that comes with a better USB connection but those are backordered until two weeks from now so things are getting complicated. By the way, can the balanced cable that comes with the HD800S be used with the LCD-X?
What did you dislike about the 800S?

I have the PS1KE to complement my X.
These sound X-traordinary!
See you have a Solvine on your X's as well, how do you like it over stock? I found it made a huge improvement.
Very jealous of your Utopia / Draug Silver.
If we're talking about the original flat, four-wire stock, I believe most AM cables would be an improvement.I'm also hearing a great improvement vs the stock cable, I feel it refined the sound on every level!
And yes the Draug Silver is awesome too, big fan of Norne cables.
